The core data set are citations, typically in a basically Scopus dataset format, for 92 reports published between 1987 and 2025. Included are various views of the data set and tables summarizing some of the characteristics of the data set. Also included are a few sheets explaining calculations that do one of two things: convert Return On Investment (ROI) data from the form initially presented in a report to the units used in our analyses; or how Return on Investment figures were calculated from reports that included enough data to enable ROI calculation but within which an ROI figure was not calculated.
